Does anyone else have occipital lobe epilepsy? Or any type of epilepsy? I'm feeling pretty lonely having never met anyone else with it.

I have temporal lobe epilepsy and it took 11 years, 2 brain surgeries, and trying almost every med in the book before my seizures were under control. It's a nightmare of a disease and you're always welcome to message me. I'm a pretty open book

I have epilepsy, idk which of the lobes is having the problems but I'm happy to talk at all if you want to
Hi! I have TLE and experience some minor hallucinations from time to time as well. I was VERY recently diagnosed but I’ve had the majority of my symptoms as long as I can remember.
If you've had an EEG, sometimes the stickers are only placed on the top of the head and not the bottom. My first EEG was when I was 7 and they only placed them on the top, but that's not where my epilepsy is located, mine is on the very back on my head/brain. So, when they finally found it, I was 15 and had been told I was faking it since I was 2. Know your truth and push to make others see it too
I know exactly how you feel
i have epilepsy, they can’t find anything wrong with my brain though.
@signature_sauce my state epilepsy foundation isn’t far from me. They have told me that’s one of the most difficult parts of this . In my case I have a brain injury so they know where all the activity is coming from. I wish you well and good fortune In finding a reason.
@Lethean i’m hoping technology will advance in the next 10 years and we can finally figure out what’s wrong. i’m not really worried about treating it anymore since my meds work, but i want to know what caused this big change in my life

The they’ve been EEG correlated so at the minor ones I need to start my safety plan.
Hi, I have temporal lobe epilepsy that has lots of activity at the point of the occipital lobe.
@Lethean Do you get hallucinations too?
@TurtleQueen not often. I’ve had minor ones and some were complex and detailed.
